Full Version: Buffering Issues

I'll try this again without violating any policies, sorry about that. I've read several threads and watched a couple YouTube Videos on how to fix buffering issues with advancedsettings.xml but still have issues.

Here are the advanced setting file I'm currently using.:

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>209715200</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

I've also tried the readbuffer factor at 4 as well.

Here's the details of my HTPC and I'm getting about 65mbps down wired:
CPU: AMD A6-3650 Llano 2.6GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (4x2GB) - UPDATED FROM 4GB TO 8GB
HD: Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s
Patriot Pyro PP60GS25SSDR 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive - UPDATED
Case: nMEDIAPC HTPC 6000B ATX (I really dig the case!)
Ceton InfiniTV4 - UPDATED
Remote: Rosewill RHRC-11001
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

Any thoughts? I'm experiencing the buffering on HD. Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.
Just reposting your problem and removing the name of the piracy add-ons that are the cause of it will not get you any support here. No amount of tweaking will help anyway.

OK, thanks, new to Kodi and this forum and I'm still feeling my way around. Thanks for your note.
why u anyways try to modify the buffers?

i'm running several kodi (started with xbmc many years ago, wired & wireless) clients in my network and none of then shows any network buffering issues with sd/hd/pvr & br iso
make sure your network is stable and "fast" (1GBit is fast enough) and more important...that your media source is capable of streaming constantly fast
i NEVER before modified the network buffer on any of these devices...
